I agree with both delegates because some small grants would certainly help those in the circumstances in question. They would not necessarily need the primary certificate. If they were given a certain amount of money to adapt their cars so they could drive themselves, they would be quite happy. I hope the reviews and suggestions are taken on board in the review that is taking place.
It is clearly important that the scheme is brought back up and running as quickly as possible. There are many people out there who could avail of it. I am not laying the blame at anyone's door. However, I believe it must be brought back up and running again as quickly as possible, perhaps in a more reformed way.
